Suunto App Official Lunch for Suunto 3 Fitness

as of today, the Suunto app has been officially listed at the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, in order to support the release of the new Suunto watch, Suunto 3 Fitness at April 25th.

This might take some time to be available for the store searches though.

But what does this mean for us here and in general for Spartan users?

For the Spartan users, they will have the option to use the beta or the commercial App.

The current beta, this community, and the forum will continue as it is now. We will be getting the beta builds, continue to hunt for bugs, have nice conversations on incoming new features, provide suggestions to improve the app experience and make the Suunto App as good as we can.

I hope, that by reading the above, you now have a clear image of how this beta-to-official phase will be moving on from now on. We still have a long way till the Suunto App is finalized for Spartans, feature, data, and bug wise

If you have any questions, remarks, and feedback please feel free to comment and suggest.

May you all have a great start of the week and thank you so much for being here and putting your effort into making the Suunto App a great product that we all will be happy to use.

On Android, I search for SuuntoApp in store, and find the released non-beta version, but it’s the app I already have installed even though the description says “welcome…this is the initial version…”, But i still see 3.29.0 (30311) inside the app.

How do we continue (or indeed how do we opt out) to see beta builds?? Will they just appear in the store but not visible to non beta users, and we will get different description somehow?

For now it’s being worked on perhaps there will be a minor change in the future

But for now:

You are in a beta google group. The email addresses that are in that group get a special build from the Play store.

So if someone goes to the Suunto app listing in the play store for him it will always show the latest beta, if he is the google group with his google play email.

In short:

All users that are now in the beta, in the playstore, they will see the beta version (images update message etc). BUT due to the initital realease now you see the initial release, which of course is the latest beta.

The playstore will push updates to you as we push beta builds.

Again:

1 listing in the playstore for Alpha, Beta and production

Depending on your email address you get dirrent description and version of the app.

I noticed something confusing: whilst the other apps are developed by Suunto, this app is listed as being developed by Sports Tracker Technologies Ltd. Looking under the developer Suunto, Movescount, 7R, Zoop-Vyper and EON Steel are listed.

For clarity/helping people better verify what they’re installing, it’d be good to change the developer of the Suunto app to Suunto.
